Australia's stricter regulations regarding automatic emergency braking systems have led to Suzuki and other automakers temporarily halting the sale of certain models. This is a precautionary measure to ensure that their vehicles meet the new safety standards. The new regulations, which came into force in July 2023, mandate that all new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles sold in Australia must be equipped with a minimum 3-star safety rating from the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP).
